Collins, Most of my servers are connected remotely, I migrated from WhiteBox to CentOS linux, I had in every (remote) server a bootdisk (floppy), so in case of a raid crash, some people there booted the server from the bootdisk and then I reconstructed the Raid remotely...
I know if I boot from CD rescue mode I can get the same result, but, people in thouse places are not especialized in linux boxes. That is because I want to boot from a floopy, now I also know it's imposible, but, Can I make a CD boot?, I just want something to boot my remote server, get running all services and later I reconstruct the RAID...
understand me now?
sorry my poor english!

I understand what you want ... but a 2.6.9 kernel and the required initrd.img to allow LVM2 and/or RAID ops is physically too big to fit on a floppy disc.
you could try to compile ONLY the drivers you absoultely need into a kernel ... but I think it will still be too large to fit.
